None
MOSCOW - The US special services have said they will carry out a search of Russia's consulate building in San Francisco, soon to be closed in retaliation for a similar measure by Russia, a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman said on Friday.
"The American special services intend to conduct searches on Sept. 2 in the general consulate in San Francisco, including in the houses of employees who live in the building and who have immunity," the spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said.
Families, including children and toddlers, had been told they would have to leave the building for 10-12 hours, she said.
